BATCH Considerations

The BATCH facility is the easiest facility to address because the resource requirements for these jobs are already defined. In BATCH, the most common resources protected are data sets, volumes, and programs.

Combining the IMPLEMENT mode with one of the ACID derivation capabilities may offer the most flexibility in implementing the BATCH facility. CA Top Secret derives an ACID for BATCH jobs submitted through an online facility, such as TSO, CA‑Roscoe, CICS, or IMS. This allows the batch job to run with the same ACID as the ACID of the online user. This is an effective approach to protecting batch testing for online users.
